I have had both and this is my honest assessment, the RX+ were faultless the only flaw was they wouldn't pick finicky/slow runs when using braid for piking due to line skip never had any issues mono and in any weather, anyway decided to buy the TXI-D to overcome this and I must admit its a gem of an alarm such an upgrade to the previous versions, no line skip and work in any conditions and look better in my opinion, both great alarms but the TXI-D edges it

Spot on, for functionality, ease of use and performance do not think the rx+ can be beaten

Because they aren't.....

If Delkim have overcome the reliability and receiver issues then they could have just won the war.
The Fox RX+ didn't feel as solid to me as my NTXr, and I wasn't convinced by the look either. Felt like a downgrade.
Out of interest are Delkims manufactured/assembled in the UK?

Another user here who changed from rx+ to TXId, there was nothing wrong with the fox they served me well during my ownership however they look ugly and felt plasticky and lets be honest you can't beat the sound of a Delkim,
So far the TXI d have been out in storm Chiara and Dennis and haven't missed a beat despite torrential weather, I've also tested the receiver on my lake which is 8 acres and it worked in every swim without any of the horrible crackling you used to get
Oh and they look the nuts!!!
I won't be swopping back that's for sure

False bleeps: I fish with one set of hangers and one set of weights which I use as needed. I can overcome false bleeps in all but gale conditions simply by tightening everything up/burying rod tips/changing weights /low sensitivity on my Nevilles. Would the same apply with these new Delkims? Also given that they work on vibration, I would have thought heavy rain bouncing off the rods would set them off or is that not the case?

New Delks are good, real good in fact, cant beat the vibro over roller wheel for me more versatile.

The mode can be used in two ways too.You can set it to last for 15 minutes well the storm passes or switch it on to stay on.The receiver will only sound if you get a continuous movement on the alarm head lasting I think is 4 seconds.I just hope people only use it when fishing open water not near snags

I had the old txis and last year fancied a change And was very close to getting the FOX RX+. All reviews were good... i had a good look at a mates on the bank and just didnt like them. The heads looked very large and looked like they were made of shiny brittle plastic. I just couldn't bring myself to buy them. The NTXR looked far sturdier.
Last week i took the plunge and bought a set of TXI - D. I had initially been put off with people saying they are so complicated...
I set them up and played with all functions. They really are not complicated at all, once you've read the instructions and see how you set each mode they are simple to adjust to your tastes which then stays in the memory.
They feel far more sturdy than the old TXI , each is even supplied with a screw driver in the box for the now very secure battery cover.
Not been out with them yet but i can tell they are a big step up from the old ones. So depends on taste. For me TXI D wins. A further huge bonus is the superb after sales service at Delkim. You know if there's ever an issue they will fix it.

to add to this
I had the old delk txi + I sold them to get RX+, I also had a set of nev mk3 alarms with receiver that I loved as they were nostalgic basic and ultra cool. Ive now sold all of them just so I have the TXD's that probably tells you all you need to know,
The functions on them are amazing so many settings and customisable options (Prob too many if I'm honest) but you can tails them in so many ways that false indication is a thing of the past
